quickgps?

hey guys, just started working at att and i requested the tilt as my company phone. well i got it yesterday, but i am completely pda/smartphone illiterate..
and i have been skimming over this forum but it minus well have been written in chinese...
so i read that quick gps is already loaded on the phone? i went through file explorer and couldn't find it anywhere... did i over look it?
also, the phone seems really laggy... from the screen switching from potrait to landscape... and there seems to be alot of lag in pressing the numbers on the touchscreen.
i've seen all the rom flashes and such... but is there a dummy guide to flashing the rom? do i download it onto my comp then move it over using active sync? does it matter what folder i put it under?
sorry for the stupid questions, but i tried my best to read through the threads but i couldn't seem to absorb anything...
-tj

mail me your phone, ill put quickgps on it and whatever custom rom you want..

couple of things
first off, try advanced search for the kaiser thread
second, coming from att might get you banned here... seems anyone that mentions xda on att forums gets banned
(i for one have been happy with the customer service)
there are plenty of guides to flashing, but basically you need to be careful. hook up to active sync and install hardspl, it won't look like anything happened so verify that you did it. then you're ready to flash your rom of choice. I use XDA Live, just keep in mind that flashing is risky and so you need to read read read... I'd stick with the stock rom for awhile anyway
quickgps is under programs BTW
this thread might be deleted just on the principal that there are a hundred like it

thanks for the info....
didn't know there was so much animosity between att workers and xda people...
i just work there to pay the bills and put food in the mouth... hopefully some of you know where im coming from...
also, to get my today screen to look like this....
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
not really interested in the bee in the background but more the layout of the today screen... im guessing that would require a rom flash? it just looks so much cleaner then the standard today screen...

To make your screen look like that, background excluded, all you need to do is to fing HTC Home cab file and install it. You do not need to change the ROM. Search... grasshopper...er bumble bee

Check your PMs... probably best to conduct the newbie stuff outside of the general population.

!?!?!SPAM?!?!?!?! How do we stop it ???

This SPAM crap is got to STOP.........WTF
Pissed
Mike

Agree
I think the best way is to report any spam inmediatly here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306366&page=12
If we all toghether report smpam our dear Mods & Admins will happyly erase it!

but maybe those users are bots which will register here everytime with another username. So a tougher captcha would prevent bots from registering. Or this is someone who dislikes xdadev.

i think an option to mark something as spam would be helpfull...
When a Thread got marked as spam eg 30 times it willl be removed

don't know about this ...

I have a spam attack recently at my forum and synce then I've been using this:

It's a web that provides ip, mail and name validation for spamers.
There's an VBulletin plugin available at the VBulletin forum here that interacts with this stopforumspam for automatic online validation during user registration:

Hope this helps solving the problem...

i hope moderators on ot now if it stops DAMN SPAMS

Agree
There's got to be some way of stopping it before that spam jerk get's 30 posts in 5 minutes.....come Mod's what do you think ????
It's like having a pop-up blocker...but it blocks SPAM.....We all come a long way here...and I think it's nice...I don't need to see a pop-up spam ad for every device.

We are quite fast as spam killers,

Very true! I don't think there is a problem ridding of the spam, but there is one with it being posted. The one that really gets me mad are the ones that post the same dang thing 4 or 5 times, in new threads, all within minutes!

APK File REQUEST THREAD

I've read the rules and it appears this is okay to do, so long as we do not share software that costs money, and that we give credits to the right owner/dev or claim that we do not own said software.
NOW, for what this is, Basically I ran into a problem once where an apk file was NOT visible in the app store (Google Play Market). This turned out to be that my devices were "not compatible". In my opinion they were just as compatible as any as both had ICS at the time (the latest OS at the time with the latest builds), I understand STOCK versions of my hardware with STOCK versions of 3.2 and 2.2 would NOT work thus being incompatible so "why show it?" became the store's philosophy. I couldn't even see it from MY PC???? (however I COULD when not signed in)
Anyways, long story short I found the apk file (after several months and a few "Yeah its in the store, your thread is now closed" paraphrases), and I have now uploaded it to Google Drive and shared it publicly for anyone to use. It WORKS on BOTH my tablet and phone (Acer A500, Samsung SGH-T679) nearly perfectly.
RULES FOR POSTING BELOW.
1) When asking, please describe IN DETAIL the software you would like, perhaps even adding a link.
2) When REPLYING, please QUOTE the asker's question.
3) When replying, always include the following: APP Title, APP Author, YOUR DISCLAIMER (no liability, this is not my software, etc), and the LINK to the software (and if forwarded, describe how its forwarded), and as much other info as you can gather (such as a URL to the play store, developer's site, etc)
4) BE POLITE IN ASKING, NOBODY OWES YOU ANYTHING. People are just doing this out of their own hearts, try to pay it back at least once over, use an app called "APK SHARE", email it to yourself, upload it somewhere and post it.
Please click the little "Thanks" button (wherever it went) for this idea
TO DEMONSTRATE, I will show you how to begin with.
Does anyone have the Kijiji Canada app? I do not see it in the Google Play Store yet many people/forums/sources are proclaiming it IS visible or available.

Yes absolutely, Its here: http :// goo . gl / 6Zksi (reconstruct the link as I cannot post links yet) (Link redirects to the APK file shared publicly from my Google Drive)
It is made by the Ebay corporation
I do not have a market link unfortunately
I DO NOT OWN THE ABOVE LINKED SOFTWARE, RESPECTS SHOULD GO TO THOSE WHO DO. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Did you not read his post where he clearly states in CAPS that it is a DEMONSTRATION.
Great idea though, there are quite a few times where I've had to scour the internet for an app that was apparently "incompatible".

Can u give me latest opera browser for 2.3.6

Forum not displaying properly

The title pretty much sums it up.
I like to get caught up with a few specific rom-threads when I get a few minutes at work, but last night (at work), my GS3 wouldn't load the pages properly using the phones browser. No worries at the time, I figured I'll just catch up on my pc when I get home. So now I'm home on my pc, but I still get the same jumbled up pages. I am so not happy.
I use Firefox on the pc, but tried Chrome browser, and even IE-10. Cleared cookies and cache but get the same thing on all of em. Obviously I am not the only one this is happening to, so any info is appreciated.
I'm just hoping it's all back to normal when I get up tomorrow.
But tonight, I might actually have a problem getting to sleep without my daily dose of xda lol.
Edit- twitter said something about the hosting company doing something to the network.

a suggestion.
google play has a application for these forums, if you download that, that will help fix the display problems
hope that helps

Appreciate it and I already have a themed xda app, I just really prefer the phones browser. I might only spend 10-15 minutes browsing xda at work, so the phone not displaying it properly isn't that big a deal. But it's 8am here and still not displaying correctly on my win7 pc (or the phone browser), so I'm open to suggestions or ideas or anyone who could tell me whats up with xda. Probably spend more time on xda then almost all my other sites combined,so I'm pretty bummed right now.

It is not showing up properly for me either:

It's not showing up right for me either. Hopefully they'll sort it out soon.

yup same.

Oh I thought it was just me...

Really, no one knows why all of a sudden xda isn't displaying properly? This is really annoying so maybe a mod will check in and let us know what is going on. As it is right now, the forum is really hard to follow and is basically unreadable.
Someone please help with this

Here's the solution for anyone still needing it. Thanks to clankfu for answering my post in the Sprint GS3 MOAR thread.

I had the same problem. Go to the very bottom, left corner of the page and choose "XDA 2013 Beta - 1024" from the dropdown.

Edit - Tried to edit the title from my op to show [Solved] but didn't see that option.

i was thinking last night, and i changed to the themes, and one didnt show correctly, but soon as i changed to another one, like xda clasic or something like that it was alright.
the ones that are having trouble, hope it works...
to anyone who reads this topic, if you have any other ideas or suggestions excluding theme changing, please here in this topic....
admin or mods: please rename topic and add solved on it

techhelpfox appearing in many searches

this doesnt exactly have to do with mobile devices , but im sick of techhelpspot results appearing in most of my google searches that would otherwyse send XDA results, the only thing that site does is steal the info here in the forums, and then giving you a link to xda (and other tech sites)
i cant see a way to block it , so i wanted to make sure its not something in my pc hijacked or anything else.
example using google.com (us) example search: galaxy s3 clock aokp
here is an example image with results:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
another one: atrix hd swype apk
any idea why is this happening or if its only me?
i hate to go there just to click on a link that will bring me here, i think that site is new, xda results used to come on top before.
*MODS if not correct forum section please move or delete. thank you

Happens to me too.. hate it. It's just spam search engine designed to steal ad revenue :/

It's basically a search engine but designed for finding similar questions. Kind of useful, but also a bit annoying.

When you do a Google search, just include
site:forum.xda-developers.com
At the start and it will only search within the XDA forums.

"just" sounds like an understatement lol thats a lot to type specially from a phone,
maybe there is a way to do the opposite? like site not like: techblahblah ?
thank you .

This has become a major annoyance for me too. Please report it at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreportform?hl=en everyone.

You can type "-techhelpfox" but that website is really breaking my balls.

XDA wasn't even on the first page, yet all the information on techstupid was from XDA...
After submission, Google suggested this add-on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-webspam-report-by/efinmbicabejjhjafeidhfbojhnfiepj , which I have to say I will use relentlessly, and I recommend you do the same. It allows you to navigate to the webspam site, then click a button and have the form auto-filled for you.
Maybe even better though, is this add-on, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/personal-blocklist-by-goo/nolijncfnkgaikbjbdaogikpmpbdcdef which allows you to click "Block xxxxx.com" from the search results. I think I'll report a few hundred techstupid pages and then click the blocker.
Hope this helps someone else!

Reported to Google! Hate this site so much, waste my time on every search. Hope this stupid techhelpfox.com site to die soon.
